BodyDear Honourable Ilaria Salis,
I am writing with urgent concern regarding Farzad Moradi, who is currently at imminent risk of execution in Iran.
This case comes at a particularly alarming time. In recent months, Iranian authorities have intensified executions in parallel with widespread unrest and ongoing conflict. These actions are increasingly carried out under conditions of severe internet restrictions and communication blackouts, which limit transparency and prevent independent scrutiny.
Farzad Moradi, a 33-year-old from Izeh and the son of a veteran, was arrested by the Khuzestan Intelligence Department at his workplace on 7 Bahman 1404. He was subjected to severe torture to force a confession, swallowed plastic spoons, had his nose broken, and was taken to Imam Khomeini Hospital in Ahvaz. He was then taken to an unknown location. The family is concerned that he may be sentenced to death.
Credible reports indicate that detainees are often subjected to unfair trials, restricted legal access, and coerced confessions. When executions take place during periods of reduced visibility, the risk of irreversible injustice is significantly heightened.
In this context, international attention becomes one of the few remaining safeguards.
I respectfully urge you to:
* Call for an immediate halt to the execution of Farzad Moradi
* Raise this case urgently with the European External Action Service and relevant EU institutions
* Advocate for transparency and independent monitoring, particularly during ongoing communication restrictions

Time is critical. When visibility is deliberately reduced, silence can enable irreversible harm.
Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
A concerned citizen
